Windows isn't Windows, as you try to make it in your generalization -
which in itslef implies a certain cluelessness with the topic.
Furthermore, these units are certified to certain reliability levels,
which are well defined. Your sweepingly broad statements just aren't
true.

What reliability levels are available for which windows products that would
be appropriate for a critical application? I assume you aren't talking about
Windows XP versions intended for desktop/laptop computers.

I wasn't aware that microsoft had any OS that would "certifiable" to DO-178B
level C or above (for those that are familar with 178B, please forgive the
shorthand wrt certification and levels), never mind any of the European
safety standards.
